Gardenia and Primrose and...

Pin It



A stroll through the local garden nursery turned into aroma therapy. This sweet scented white gardenia relaxes every muscle in your body. I always feel invigorated after a walk down the aisles. Light of heart and mind, but a longer list of plants and seeds on my wish list.

Light and airy would describe the white primroses. A large grouping of these would be terrific and eye catching! They are so beautiful and feminine that we really don't miss a scent. They have many other attributes. Today I got busy and got my hands dirty. All of the extra lavender plants that have been grouped by the veranda/porch were finally given a place in the garden. We've had a few days at 63 and it is fabulous! Things are getting accomplished outside. Yay!

Hyacinth Perfume

These little bell flowers on the hyacinth are perfuming my room with loveliness.

Nature's little packages send up beautiful stalks of bell shaped flowers loaded with perfume. Isn't it amazing that you can't smell the fragrance until they open? And that they come out of a round shaped bulb perfectly?

White Cottage Garden Bulbs

Sir Salty doing the army crawl down the hill to rub his tummy. How this doggy boy loves the great outdoors and smell of grass. These white flowers in the foreground are Helen Campbell cleome. They reseed wonderfully and have been blooming all summer and will keep blooming til a hard frost. I love annuals like that. Every few days I collect fresh seeds that I want to scatter in different places. For now I have a nice little piggy bank full of cleome seeds! I'm a seed horder.



These are some of the bulbs that I have to tuck into various corners of the gardens from Lowes. They are big healthy bulbs. I'm hoping our westie can keep the squirrels away from them. I might have to put out corn to distract them.


These 22-inch tall white tulips are gorgeous with the lime green colors of spring. Put them in among your hostas and ferns and it's a fairyland scene come true. When I first started planting bulbs I thought they needed full sun, but they don't. Only two hours of sunlight a day!

These thalia white daffodils are 10-inch and semi dwarf, but they are multi flowering. Each stem is a bouquet.

I really need to get these planted while it's still warm and sunny.
